Save Conan!
Check out how some NBC and Tonight Show employees (and plenty of other random Facebook fans) are showing their loyalty to Conan.
From TMZ:
Conan Supporters Slap NBC in the Facebook
Posted Jan 13th 2010 1:10PM by TMZ Staff
O’Brien‘s most loyal employees are refusing to abandon their leader — and have taken to Facebook to rally support for the guy NBC is treating like a redheaded stepchild.
Several people who work for “The Tonight Show” and NBC have united on the social networking site and changed their picture to an Obama-esque image of O’Brien that features the words, “I’m With COCO.”
The COCO craze is already spreading like wildfire on FB — and according to the guy who created the artwork, Mike Mitchell, the image has already been seen by Conan himself.
So far … no sighting of any “I’m with Chin” or “I Heart Peacock” artwork floating around.
Frusciante on leaving the RHCP
John Frusciante has posted the following on his MySpace page.
“To put it simply, my musical interests have led me in a different direction. I really love the band and what we did. Over the last 12 years, I have changed, as a person and artist, to such a degree that to do further work along the lines I did with the band would be to go against my own nature. “There was no choice involved in this decision. I simply have to be what I am, and have to do what I must do.”
If you haven’t checked out his most recent solo release, The Empyrean, you should.

95 year old bartender to retire…
Slinging drinks for over 76 years, Angelo Cammarata has decided to retire.
MSNBC:
WEST VIEW, Pa. – Only minutes after Prohibition ended in 1933, Angelo Cammarata, 19, served a 10-cent bottle of Fort Pitt beer to a customer in his father’s neighborhood grocery.
Ever since, except for a 30-month hitch during World War II, the son of Italian immigrants has been tending bar and serving drinks. Guinness World Records dubbed him the longest-serving bartender a decade ago, and he’s earned induction into Jim Beam’s Bartender Hall of Fame and numerous other honors. (more…)

Sunday Jazz — Dizzy Gillespie
![DizzyGillespie1[1]](http://musicalstewdaily.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/dizzygillespie11.jpg?w=300&h=218 "DizzyGillespie1[1]")
John Birks “Dizzy” Gillespie was born into a musically inclined family, as his father was a bandleader, in 1917 in South Carolina, the youngest of nine children. A vituosic trumpeteer, his complex phrasing, pitch and sound helped him and Charlie Parker lay the groundwork for the bebop era and made Dizzy a true pioneer of jazz. Here’s a prime example of Dizzy playing with his band in Paris in 1953.
